Job description

This is hands-on mechanical work, hot garages and all, not a sales job with some lifting. You'll diagnose the problems, talk to the homeowner like a pro they trust, then fix it yourself.

We want someone who puts people first: down-to-earth, dependable, easy to talk to, plus a strong work ethic and the grit to do physical work daily. We'll teach you to sell.

The Job

Physical work, every day: springs, cables, rollers, openers, motors. You repair and install it all. Lifting 75+ lbs., bending, kneeling, climbing ladders, working in 100°F garages and freezing ones. Hands-on from first job to last.

Selling isn't optional, it's the job: no sale means no repair, no repair means no paycheck. This is commission-based, so every dollar you make starts with a homeowner trusting you enough to say yes. We'll teach you how to earn that yes. You bring the desire to close.

What You Get

• Uncapped earnings, first-year techs typically hit $60K–$90K+

• Company vehicle + gas card all tools provided

• Medical, dental, vision, 401k PTO + weekly pay

• 6-week paid training (2 weeks local, 4 weeks Phoenix Academy, travel covered) + a one thousand dollar graduation bonus

• Real career path

Who Thrives Here

• Likes working with hands, solving mechanical problems, no garage door experience needed

• Puts people first: trustworthy, helpful, easy to talk to, no sales title required

• Shows up prepared and does the work right, every time, raising the standard, not cutting corners

• Follows through on what they commit to and earns trust through the finish line

• Doesn't mind getting dirty, sweaty, or cold

• Wants to build toward six figures over time, not a quick bump

Requirements

• 21+, valid license, 3+ years driving record

• Can lift 75 lbs., bend, climb, kneel, work in extreme temps, regularly

• Some hands-on mechanical experience or comfort with tools (home services, auto shops, hospitality, DIY projects, etc.)

• Willingness to undergo a criminal background check, drug test (THC excluded) and driving record

• Basic tech comfort (apps, tablets); reading/math for measurements and payments

• No sales experience required, we teach that
